DataColumn Expression Q

[Vai2000]

Hi All, I have a dataColumn type of string which has values in form of range
like 0-80 or sometimes just 1 value like 100. I want to add another
column[numeric] which basically computes the count of the range & displays
it. I know the hard way of doing this, but was wondering can Expression
Property save me some time? or some easier way


=========
Col0 Col1 NewCol
X 0-10 10
y 100 100
z 5-20 15

TIA

Hi
Of course if you have a will defined formula to create that column make it
an expression column while your formula is the value of the expression
property. You can read more on
